December 8: Update on S510

Basically they have now inserted the language of S510 into a “must pass” bill relating to funding of the government itself.

Please help stop S.510 as a tack-on via HR 1755 to HR 3082.

S.510: Is now hidden in a House Amendment to Senate Amendment to House Bill! HR 3082 now hides S 510! The House passed it by 212 to 205 – without a single Republican vote! It is buried in the 423 pages of the Continuing Resolution which provides government funding for the next fiscal year – a MUST PASS bill. But the S.510 amendment can be removed by the Senate before the bill is passed.

The contents of S. 510 is anti-health, anti-supplements, anti-freedom, anti-small business and anti-clean food to say nothing of anti-sense. The regulatory language of S. 510 should never have been attached to a Continuing Resolution, which is an administrative bill allowing the government of the United States to continue its activities by funding it.

Sen. Coburn’s Office: “As far as we know there may be an attempt to insert the Senate bill language [S. 510] into a “must pass” bill (such as a budget bill in the House) and send that back to the Senate… if it is returned as as a stand-alone bill, there is probably not enough time to debate and pass it this session, but if it is part of another, already scheduled bill, we don’t know what will happen.”

“If accepted [S 510] would preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.” ~Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower

It is similar to what India faced with imposition of the salt tax during British rule, only S 510 extends control over all food in the US, violating the fundamental human right to food.

Monsanto says it has no interest in the bill and would not benefit from it, but Monsanto’s Michael Taylor who gave us rBGH and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create — without judicial review — if it passes. S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming.

Sam Brownback (R-KS), voted against the bill, saying: “While ensuring a safe, secure interstate food supply is an important role for the federal government, I have strong concerns about the bill that was brought to the Senate floor, particularly as it would affect small producers. Additionally, the bill’s cost of almost $1.5 billion is irresponsible at this time.”
